I'm looking forward to this seminar as, since next year will be the anniversary of the beginning of World War I, many of us are planning our 2014 research goals to include World War I interests.

I highly recommend speaker Glenn Wright's book Canadians at War 1914-1919:
A Research Guide to World War I Service Records. This book will be available for sale at the BCGS seminar, and the BCGS Boutique will offer many other useful books and research aids.

The British Columbia Genealogical Society will present Glenn T. Wright and Lesley Anderson in an all day seminar, 27 April, 2013, Burnaby BC at the Danish Lutheran Church.

Glenn
T. Wright was formerly with Library and Archives Canada (Public
Archives of Canada) and assistant historian of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police.

Lesley Anderson is Director of Education for the
British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa and is a Content
Acquisition Consultant for Ancestry.ca.
